Electronic blood pressure device

How to test the accuracy of an electronic blood pressure device... 

This last point is very important in two ways. First, throughout this book, the importance of optimum quality data is emphasized many times. In most cases, this comment is associated with acquiring the data, for example, measuring blood pressure as accurately as possible. However, since all of these data are entered into databases, data entry must be accurate A correct measurement that is stored incorrectly immediately lessens the quality of the overall data. Sometimes data are transferred from a measurement device electronically to the database, and sometimes data are manually entered into the database. Procedures to ensure accuracy, correctness, and completeness of data transfer are an essential part of data recording and management. Second, the storage of sensitive data (personal, medical) and proprietary data requires additional considerations to ensure that these data do not become accessible and available to unauthorized users.

Workshop portable tools (wireless drill, screwdrivers, etc.), test meters. Medicine hearing-aid devices, pace maker devices, blood pressure... 

Wearable technology consists of wearable electronics, a term that mainly includes simple and more complex electronic devices and their embedding within textile structures. A good example of the popularity of the research subject is the current Qualcomm Tricorder X-Prize competition for the best portable, wireless device that monitors and diagnoses health conditions (XPRIZE, 2014). Undoubtedly, as the aim is that the device monitors such elements as blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature, some of the sensors of the device will come in the form of textile-embedded electronics. 

Thin films are integral parts of many micro-electro-mechanical systems designed to serve as sensors or actuators. For example, a piezoelectric or piezoresistive thin film deposited on a silicon membrane can be used to detect electronically a deflection of the membrane in response to a pressure applied on its surface or by an acceleration of its supports. Devices based on thin film technology are used as microphones in hearing aids, monitors of blood pressure during exercise, electronically positioned thin film mirrors on flexible supports in optical display systems, and probes for detecting the degree of ripeness of fruits. 

DDF AO is a tme medical device which reliably measures bio-electroimpedances by mean of 6 convenient large flat pods and determines accurately body parameters like pH and blood pressures, thanks to its highly integrated electronic circuitry. 

Desflurane is a fluorinated methyl ethyl ether identical to isoflurane except for the substitution of a chlorine by a fluorine atom (Figure 3.2). It is the least soluble of all the volatile anaesthetics with a similar blood/gas solubility to nitrous oxide (0.42). It is non-flammable under all clinical conditions. The vapour pressure of desflurane approaches 1 atm at 23°C making controlled administration impossible with a conventional vaporiser. A desflurane vaporiser is an electronically controlled pressurised device that delivers an accurately metered dose of vaporised desflurane into a stream of fresh gases passing through it. The MAC of desflurane (6.5% in adults) is the highest of any modern fluorinated agent but in common with these the value decreases in the elderly and in other circumstances (see below). 

Hemodialysis (HD) is the method of extracorporeal drug removal most commonly used in the treatment of poisoning [1]. The apparatus consists of a blood circuit, an electronic and mechanical device (with pumps and pressure monitors), a dialyzer cartridge (containing hollow permeable fibers), and a dialysate circuit (of purified water with added electrolytes). In practice, a double-lumen catheter is first placed in a central vein.
